Since caveman narrowly defined the thread, I haven't seen anything that fits the criteria, but I'm wondering about this "no pages rank" thing.

Suppose you use the Google SiteSearch thingee. If you swipe in a bit of text, this should normally return results from the single domain, ranked as if the single domain was the entire Internet. Are people suggesting no results would appear for their effected pages?

===
Going off-topic a bit to explain... when I do this for my recently "lost" domain, the first result is a Supplemental listing deleted more than a year ago. The second listing is any other Supplemental that mentions the word(s). After that, the results are normal.

Most notably there is a technical word in my niche that has no meaning anywhere else. This word is on fifty+ pages on the site. When searching via the SiteSearch, the long-gone Supplemental appears first, even though this technical word only appears once in the body of the page... meaning that one mention outranks my detailed page devoted to that technical word with a URL like example.com/technicalword/ (where technicalword is the technical word, not two words scrunched together) despite almost all the other instances of the word appearing on the site being links to the detailed page.

I'm wondering if people are experiencing something similar, where one Supplemental result can kill every ranking for anything where the words appear anywhere on the Supplemental page... but this would not be the case as described in the thread if no pages show up for a search.
